2027 Partnership & Sponsorship
The 2027 program in full.
Start with the Advance Partnership, then the conference options by tier and event.
The Advance Partnership in full.
The Advance Partnership costs $35,000 for the 2027 program year and is held by ten companies. Partners hold first right of renewal and multi-year commitments are welcomed and reviewed annually.
Every other sponsorship at SGA is tied to a single event. The Advance Partnership is different in kind. It carries exclusive promotion across the full year and places your expertise inside the learning systems the industry relies on.
What it includes
- Exclusive year-round promotion across SGA communications, digital channels and event environments, held by ten companies only.
- An invitation to the Executive Conference, SGA’s C-suite, operator-only event and the one gathering otherwise closed to partner companies. November 13–16, 2027, Naples Beach Club, Florida.
- Company-wide training with no per-seat limit: live instructor-led courses plus SGA Campus on demand, 600+ classes and 14 certificate programs, the same system 100% of operating members use.
- A complimentary exhibit booth at OpsCon or Spring Gas, reserved before general exhibit sales open.
- A $4,500 conference credit toward registrations at any 2027 SGA conference, so your team attends rather than only appearing on the signage.
- A partner page on sganaturalgas.org, describing your capability in SGA’s voice and context.
- Recognition by name at every SGA Board Meeting, in front of the operating executives who set the association’s direction.
The instructor advantage
Advance Partners are invited to contribute curriculum and subject-matter experts to SGA’s learning systems. A member who visits your booth has met a vendor. A member who spends six hours in a course your engineer teaches has met an expert, and left with a phone number.
Who it fits
Companies whose growth depends on the North American natural gas market, who have technical expertise worth teaching, who need to be known at the executive level and whose workforce would benefit from SGA training at scale. If most of that describes you, the Advance Partnership is the right conversation. If one piece does, start with a conference sponsorship.
Conference sponsorship
Sponsor a moment attendees remember.
Every sponsorship below attaches to a specific aspect of a specific event: the reception where the introductions happen, the session where the hard question gets asked, the break where the real conversation starts. You host something attendees remember being hosted, rather than buying a line on a page.

Included at every level
Exhibit booths are priced separately by conference and are not required to sponsor. Advance Partners receive one booth at OpsCon or Spring Gas at no charge. Most items are exclusive to one company per event and offered first come, and prior-year sponsors hold first right of renewal on the item they held.
If you sell to engineers, take the Technical Track before the reception. If you sell to executives, take the reception. If you are new to SGA, start with one Session item at the conference nearest your customers and let the results argue for next year. Depth in one event beats a thin presence spread across several.
Start with the outcome you need.
Most sponsorship conversations begin with a catalog and end with a decision about signage. We begin with a different question: what does your company need to be true twelve months from now? Find the objective that fits and we build the plan around it.
Measure what matters
Qualified conversations, opportunities influenced, referrals received, accounts retained. Partners who measure impressions undercount their own results, and partners who pursue one clear objective consistently outperform those chasing all nine at low intensity.
How we support what you buy.
Buying the sponsorship is where our work starts.
Onboarding within 30 days
A working session that turns the agreement into a calendar: who speaks where, which committees your team joins, which courses your experts teach. Every commitment gets an owner and a date.
Activation support all year
Speaking submissions, committee introductions, instructor onboarding, hospitality logistics and communications coordination. Our job is to make sure everything you bought gets used.
Introduction facilitation
A warm connection to a specific person, with context on both sides. It is quiet work that rarely shows up in a report.
A mid-year review
Measured against the objective you named. We would rather have a difficult conversation in month six than lose a partner in month twelve.
A year-end assessment and first right of renewal
Your positions held before they are offered elsewhere.
A reframe for your budget conversation
Paid media is an expense, consumed on use and requiring constant replenishment to sustain. Association partnership behaves like an asset, a position built over time that keeps generating value between investments and would take a competitor years to replicate. Both belong in a portfolio, and they should not be measured with the same instrument.
Bring us your objective.
Tell us what you are trying to accomplish this year and we will come back with a recommendation, including an honest read on whether partnership is the right investment for your objective. Forty-five minutes, no preparation required.
